Manchester United will face Tottenham Hotspur in the final game of the 2025 Europa League. The two Premier League sides will clash at the San Mames Barria in Bilbao on Wednesday, and below is our prediction of the match.
This marks the first time since 2019 that two English sides face off in the Europa League final. This season, these teams have already met three times, and Tottenham will be targeting a fourth straight win against Manchester United.
Spurs have had a poor season in the Premier League and will attach a lot of importance to this game. After their 5-1 aggregate win over Bodo/Glimt in the semis, Spurs went on a two-game winless run.
They lost to Crystal Palace and Aston Villa in their latest outings.
Manchester United are just a point above Spurs in the league. They’ve also had a bad season domestically, losing 18 times in their 37 matches so far.
Like Spurs, the Europa League is their only hope for silverware and a window back to Europe next season. While they are enduring a tough domestic campaign, United have been the team to beat in the Europa League.
The Red Devils have had a mix of solid control of their matches and dramatic outcomes. In the semis, they crafted a home-and-away triumph over Athletic Bilbao, winning 7-1 on aggregate.
United have since slumped to two defeats in the league, most recently 1-0 against Chelsea.
For the fourth time this season, we are getting an interaction between these two teams. The first three had 11 goals scored, and this fixture has generally been a high-scoring one. With both sides looking at this as their moment of the season, we are definitely going to have an end-to-end attacking game here.
Like it has been in the Europa League for both teams, goals on either end are also a possibility. Our prediction for Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United is for over 2.5 goals and both teams to score.
